Hubbell-Raco 2711B5 Squeeze NMSC Cable Connector – Zinc, 5‑Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Hubbell‑Raco 2711B5 squeeze NMSC cable connector is engineered for electricians who demand a blend of durability, ease of installation, and reliable performance. Constructed from a corrosion‑resistant zinc die‑cast housing, the connector protects the internal copper terminals from harsh environmental conditions while providing a solid mechanical grip on the cable. The connector’s squeeze‑type terminal design eliminates the need for crimping tools, allowing a quick, tool‑free connection that maintains consistent pressure on the conductors. Each pack contains five connectors, each rated for up to 120 V AC and a temperature rating of 221 °F, making them suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial applications.

Key specifications include a 1/2‑inch NMSC (Non‑Metallic Sheathed Cable) compatibility, support for multiple wire gauges (including #10, #12, and #14), and UL/CSA certification for safety compliance. The connectors are lightweight at 2.4 ounces each, and their compact dimensions (12.2″ L × 10.8″ W × 5.95″ H) allow for easy storage and handling on the job site. The product is backed by Hubbell’s reputation for quality and reliability, ensuring that each connector meets stringent industry standards.

Usage

These connectors are designed for use in a variety of conduit and wiring scenarios. Whether you are installing new lighting circuits in a residential home, upgrading electrical panels in a commercial building, or performing maintenance on existing conduit runs, the 2711B5 connector provides a secure and efficient solution. The squeeze‑type mechanism is especially advantageous in tight spaces where traditional crimping tools cannot reach, allowing electricians to make connections quickly without sacrificing safety.

Because the connector is compatible with NMSC cable, it works well with standard Romex® and similar non‑metallic sheathed cables commonly used in North American construction. The zinc die‑cast body resists corrosion from moisture and chemicals, making it suitable for indoor installations as well as damp or semi‑outdoor environments such as basements, garages, and utility rooms. The connector’s UL listing assures compliance with national electrical codes, giving confidence to both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
